Rare Blue Moon Happens Wednesday

A rare blue supermoon is coming early Wednesday morning, which means the moon is closer to earth and there will be a lunar eclipse. It’s the second full moon in one calendar month, so it becomes a blue moon. EarthSky.org says it’s the first blue moon total lunar eclipse since March 1866. It’s a blue moon because Earth blocks the sunlight that would otherwise reflect off the moon. The next blue moon total lunar eclipse will happen Dec. 31, 2028.
